Do you have cold feet in winter? But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won’t be troubled by that.

UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.

UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.

Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.

We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.

If you are hungry，what do you do？Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？But1.It never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity （创造力） gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think"What happens next？"，"Why can't I think？"

2.Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to take help from reading．

Once you read a book，you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．3.Now this seed is unknowingly （未发觉地） used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity．4.Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

If you dream of going to someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OCLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more than 3,000 °F. “This is the hottest planet we know about,” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team, “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets（细沫）”

The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way（银河）but it is not in our solar（太阳的）system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called“transit technique” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star’s light to dim（变暗）.Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,” says Sasedlov.

A．there is iron on the new planet
